Mrs Alhashem, a Dutch citizen, had been living in the UK since 2010. She was at first awarded job seeker’s allowance, but this ended because she was unable to sign on for work because of ill health. She then applied for employment and support allowance. On 12 November 2011, the Secretary of State refused her claim on the basis that she did not have the right to reside in this country.
